Cash Cycle Days Period-Length Crosscheck

Hold a cash-cycle comparison when components mix quarter and annual day counts. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Average balances, sales/COGS, component formulas, period dates and day-count policy.

How it works

1. Record the denominator period and day multiplier for each component.
2. Compare actual period scope before aggregating days.
3. Show same numerator/denominator with alternative multipliers as basis differences.
4. Return a comparable-basis question, not a silent restatement.

The output

component | denominator_period | day_multiplier | calculated_days | common_basis | hold

Worked fictional example

Fictional ratio 0.2 times 90 days gives 18; times 365 gives 73. Combining 18 quarterDIO with annualDSO without a policy bridge is held, not 55 days improvement.
